OP is very fortunate indeed that the car damage is all they'll have to deal with as those can be fixed - be sure to claim the diminished value as there should be no issue or contest against it.
As for age... people don't learn until it happens firsthand. I've been involved in 2 accidents myself, neither my fault, and both drivers were over 35. It boils down to insurance. If every driver knew that if they are at fault that they were going to pay X over X number of months then perhaps they wouldn't risk having their attention diverted to electronics or other distractions...
Being that the kid had been involved in another accident just prior to this I REALLY hope he ends up on a moped to punish his chronic habit of not paying attention to the road. He can go ride along with the DWI crowd and perhaps that'll teach him...
